Diamond watches are the epitome of wealth and luxury. When a women wears one of these dazzlers, it’s pretty obvious she is a little more than financially stable. She is most likely in the 1-2 percent of the population who can pay as much for a watch as many do for a home. Millionaires and billionaires often have more money than they can spend, so jewelers know that “if they build it, the right customers will come”. These three manufacturers do not disappoint as Chopard, Piaget and Omega are all top names in the business. They know how to please the rich and famous and continue to come out with designs we have never before seen.

Even when women entered the workplace, their positions did not warrant high salaries or luxurious business wear. Then about twenty-five years ago, women’s luxury watches started m...

The distinguishable roar of a red  Ferrari   has always been a symbol of high performance and Ferrari’s racing heritage. Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929, Ferrari only started making street-legal production vehicles almost 20 years later. The original company was started to produce racing cars, talented drivers and give sponsorship for races. Ferrari cars and drivers have a history of producing results in Formula One and other motor sport categories. Since the Formula One World Championship started in 1950, Ferrari has been the only team to compete each and every year. Success has not been elusive for Ferrari.

That is quite a racing pedigree. The first cars produced for the general public were primarily sold to help finance all the Ferrari racing activities. Things changed following the bomb...

Super model, Miranda Kerr (31) and Australian casino billionaire, James Packer (46) have finally been photographed together while being ferried to his  super yacht , the Arctic P after months of squashing and denying rumors of a relationship between them. One of the reasons for keeping the relationship on the down-low is because of her split with ex-husband Orlando Bloom last year. Reports have stated the split was amicable but possibly caused by Bloom’s desire to “get his party on” a little too much for her lifestyle or taste. Miranda is the third highest paid super model in the world and a former  Victoria’s Secret model , so she is constantly in the public eye. Our guess about the secrecy might be more about her three-year old son, Flynn, who is very much connected to his mommy. She may be exercising “typical mother cautiousness” before committing to a relationship publicly. Flynn and Mom Miranda Flynn and Mom Miranda Parker’s been married a couple of times but...
